Fuses
5. Look for a burned wire inside the
fuse. If it is burned out, replace it
with one of the spare fuses of the
same rating or lower.
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Table of Contents
If you cannot drive the car without
fixing the problem, and you do not
have a spare fuse, take a fuse of the
same rating or a lower rating from
one of the other circuits. Make sure
you can do without that circuit tempo-
rarily (such as the rear window
defogger, or radio). If you replace the
burned out fuse with a spare fuse that
has a lower rating, it might blow out
again. This does not indicate anything
wrong. Replace the fuse with the
correct rating as soon as you can.
NOTICE
Replacing a fuse with one that has a
higher rating greatly increases the
chances of damaging the electrical
system. If you do not have a replace-
ment fuse with the proper rating for
the circuit, install one with a lower
rating.
6. If the replacement fuse of the
same rating burns out in a short
time, there is probably a serious
electrical problem in your car.
Leave the burned out fuse in that
circuit and have your car checked
by a qualified technician.
